DATABASE IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS.

Your database design and implementation must meet the following requirements:

1. Normalization:

• The database should be normalized to at least the 3rd Normal Form (3NF).

• Provide documentation of the normalization process, including the unnormalized


form (UNF), 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF.

2. Tables and Relationships:

• Define all necessary tables and their relationships.

• Ensure that all tables have primary keys.

• Implement foreign keys to establish relationships between tables.

3. Data Integrity and Constraints:

• Use appropriate data types for each column.

• Implement NOT NULL constraints where applicable to ensure data completeness.

• Use UNIQUE constraints to enforce the uniqueness of specific columns.

• Implement CHECK constraints to enforce domain integrity.

• Define FOREIGN KEY constraints to maintain referential integrity.

• Implement any other crucial constraints which are necessary for your tables.

4. Indexes:

• Create indexes on columns that are frequently used in query conditions to


optimize performance.

• Justify the choice of indexed columns.


5. Stored Procedures:

• Implement stored procedures to handle any common operations such as


inserting new records, updating existing records, and complex queries.

• Ensure procedures are efficient and handle potential exceptions.

6. User-Defined Functions (UDFs):

• Create user-defined functions to encapsulate frequently used calculations or data


retrieval operations.

• Ensure functions are efficient and well-documented.

7. Triggers:

• Define at least two triggers to enforce business rules or maintain data integrity
automatically.

• Ensure triggers are efficient and do not cause unwanted side effects.

8. Views:

• Create at least two views to simplify complex queries and provide data
abstraction.

• Ensure views are efficient and meet the needs of the application.

9. Transactions:

• Implement transaction management to ensure data consistency and integrity.

• Use BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK statements to manage transactions.

10. Sample Data:

• Populate each table with at least 100 records of sample data.

• Ensure that sample data covers a range of test cases, including edge cases.
11. Security:

• Implement user roles and permissions to restrict access to certain tables and
operations for different users in your system.

• Ensure that sensitive data is protected and only accessible by authorized users.

12. Documentation:

• Provide comprehensive documentation including:

• ER Diagram

• Relational Schema

• Normalization steps

• SQL scripts for creating tables, indexes, stored procedures, functions,


triggers, and views

• Sample data used for testing

• Detailed explanations of how each requirement is met

• Test cases and results

13. Performance:

• Conduct performance testing to ensure the database operates efficiently under


expected load conditions.

• Optimize queries for better performance.

Deliverables:

1. SQL Scripts:

• Scripts for creating the database and tables.

• Scripts for inserting sample data.


• Scripts for creating indexes, stored procedures, user-defined functions, triggers,
and views.

2. Documentation:

• Detailed documentation covering all the above requirements.

3. Test Plan and Results:

• A test plan outlining the test cases used to verify the functionality and
performance of the database.

• Results of the tests including any issues found and resolved.

Evaluation Criteria:

1. Completeness:

• All deliverables are submitted and all requirements are met.

2. Accuracy:

• Correctness of the database design and SQL code.

3. Efficiency:

• Efficient use of SQL constructs and performance optimization.

4. Documentation:

• Clarity, thoroughness, and professionalism of the documentation.

By following these requirements, you will gain a thorough understanding of database design
and implementation using PostgreSQL or any other SQL related DBMS, as they cover both
fundamental and advanced aspects of DBMS
